We have a Golf 8v 2ltr GTI mk3 and have just recently had a problem with the car whilst driving.
Heres the picture, were driving along at about 60mph and all of a sudden the car dies on us and the oil light comes up on the dash, this has happened a fare few times now. The car does`nt shudder to a halt, just simply dies like there`s no more life left.
Now we changed our fuel to Shell Optimax a few months back now after reading how good it is and that. A few people at work reckon it could be a blocked fuel line or sludge build up and that i should use REDEX.
I dont like using this crap cos we had a 205 gti and had nothing but problems after.
Now could it be the Immobolizer, ive heard on here that as the car gets older the immobolizer tends to play up, is this the case, i dont know.
Any advice would be appreciated.
